Creating the Neon Glow: The Interior Design Story of Neon Moon

A look behind the lights, the textures, and the vibe that makes Ocean Springs shine after dark.

Step inside Neon Moon and you’re instantly transported—into a world where sultry lighting, retro grit, and playful energy collide. But this aesthetic didn’t happen by accident. Every glow, every surface, every flicker of light was carefully chosen to create a space that feels like a cinematic dream.

Here’s a peek behind the velvet curtain of Neon Moon’s design story.

🌴 The Entrance: Jungle Meets Jukebox

From the moment you spot the ivy-covered facade and towering palms outside, you know this isn’t your average bar. The glowing Neon Moon sign beckons like a retro beacon, setting the tone for something bold yet laid back. Add in the reclaimed wood, lush greenery, and a splash of tiki charm, and you’ve got an exterior that feels like a beachside hideaway crossed with a rockabilly speakeasy.

🎱 The Game Room: Dive Bar Energy Meets Day-Glo Cool

Step into the pool hall, and the vibe shifts—in the best way. Classic Budweiser and Bud Light bar lights hover above well-worn pool tables, while string lights and black walls create cozy contrast. The glowing “NEON MOON” marquee letters throw back to vintage roadside signage, giving the space an Americana-meets-arcade atmosphere that invites you to stay a while… and maybe shoot your shot.

🍸 The Side Bar: Low Lights, Strong Drinks

This tucked-away bar is the definition of intimate cool. Rustic wood planks, multicolored string lights, and exposed brick come together for a kitschy-chic effect. It’s the kind of place where you lean in close over an Old Fashioned and lose track of time.

💃 The Main Room: Where the Magic Happens

The main floor is where the party pulses. Color-changing lights swirl across polished concrete, bouncing off corrugated metal and industrial brick. With LED spotlights, a raised DJ booth, and the glowing NNM insignia projected on the floor, this space was made for movement. Whether you're grooving to a DJ set, hosting an event, or grabbing drinks with friends, the room adjusts to the energy.

The massive bar itself? A crown jewel. Sleek lines, brushed metal seating, and bottles backlit in green and violet hues make it both a central hub and visual statement. No matter where you sit, you’re part of the vibe.

🔮 The Color Story: Neon by Design

Every color in Neon Moon was chosen to pop under low light—from the violet-pink floor reflections to the green liquor glows and fiery red accents behind the stage. It’s a symphony of saturation that never feels too much—just moody enough to flirt with your senses.

🛠 It’s All in the Details

• Brushed steel tabletops for a gritty-glam finish.

• Exposed ductwork and corrugated metal for an edge.

• Black ceilings and walls to keep the vibe immersive and intimate.

• Custom signage and graphics that nod to pop culture and local charm.

At Neon Moon, the design isn’t just décor—it’s a feeling. It’s what makes you take a second look, stay for another round, and come back again with someone new. It’s loud and low-lit, wild and welcoming—just like the nights we live for.
